E W Higgins

At the age of 25 years E W Higgins, another of the
Manchester stars of the track, had beaten many of the world's top
sprinters.

Amongst his wins was the 1000-yards British Empire
Championships
held at his home track, Fallowfield.

In 1931 he represented Great Britain at the World
Championships
in Copenhagen and recorded the fastest 220 yards time of the event.
This was a good year for him as he went on to win both the London and
Derby Grand Prix events.

He went on to represent his country in the World's in 1932/34/35.

At the Manchester Club Athletic Ground he won countless sprints against
national and international riders. As a fellow clubmate of
Fred
Pemberton he rode a Pemberton
Arrow track machine for many years.
